The involute of a circle (Figure 8), traced by a point at the end of a thread

Question:

The involute of a circle (Figure 8), traced by a point at the end of a thread unwinding from a circular spool of radius R, has parametrization (see Exercise 29 in Section 11.2)

r(0) = (R(cos0+ 0 sine), R(sin 0 - 0 cos 0))

Find an arc length parametrization of the involute. String (length Ro) (R cos 0, R sin 0), R 0 P
